Abstract: The movable nozzle of a puffer circuit interrupter has a coaxial cylindrical shield connected to its downstream end and the main movable contacts connected to its upstream end. The shield is electrically connected to the stationary contact terminal. The movable contact ring and coaxial shield at the upstream end of the nozzle define a well shielded open gap when the interrupter gap opens.

Abstract: The invention provides a high performance circuit breaker with an independent pole operation linkage and conical composite bushings. A mechanical linkage for independently opening and closing a plurality of associated switches is provided by the invention. The linkage comprises a plurality of connecting rods that provide the initial driving force to open or close the switch, cranks for opening and closing the contacts of respective switches, linking elements which couple together the connecting rods and the cranks, and a number of lever assemblies having a bearing ring interfaced thereto. The bearing rings provide a supportive interface between two linking element but permit the linking elements to rotate independently from one another. The lever assemblies also provide an interface for the connecting rods and linking element. According to a method of the present invention, a connecting rod is actuated in response to a signal to cause the lever assembly to pivot. The linking rod interfaced with the connecting rod via the lever assembly is then rotated in response to the pivoting. A crank interfaced with the linking element is then pivoted in response to the rotation of the linking element thereby opening or closing a respective switch. The invention further provide a means and method for synchronously opening and closing the switches based on the current flowing into the switches. Preferably, conical composite bushings are provided in combination with the independent pole operation linkage in a high voltage circuit breaker according to the invention.

Abstract: An insulator for supporting the inner conductor of a gas insulated transmission line is configured so that its outer extremity is a simple blunt portion that fits loosely within a bearing block of insulating material of lower dielectric constant than the insulator itself so as to provide structural simplicity and improved performance through lessened breakdown susceptibility. A cylindrical particle trap ring formed of flexible metal sheet material is attached to the bearing block at locations spaced from the insulator.

Abstract: A telescoping contact assembly for high current applications includes a center conductor and a coaxial contact sheath assembly. The contact sheath assembly comprises a plurality of spring-loaded elongated contact fingers arranged about the inner circumference of a cylindrical housing. Each spring is loaded so as to create a spring force directed along the length of each contact finger in an axial direction with respect to the housing. Each contact finger is urged against a surface of the housing at a point of contact offset from the line of action of the spring force, thereby producing a radial force component creating contact pressure between each finger contact and the housing, and between each finger contact and the inserted center conductor.

Abstract: An improved compressed-gas puffer-type circuit-interrupter is provided having improved supporting, shielding and assembly features for making ready provision for a separate bench subassembly of the gas-interrupter module, and enabling its ready application to a grounded metallic tank-type of circuit-interrupter, or, alternatively, to gas-insulated transmission-line equipment, as desired.Improved supporting features involve the utilization of a pair of upstanding side-insulating supporting shields, which substantially solely support the upper relatively-stationary contact and shielding assembly, apart from any support needed by the upper terminal-bushing, when used. Additionally, the invention comprises improved rod guiding features for the movable operating cylinder, improved shielding structure on both the stationary and movable contact structures and improved capacitor-tube mounting-assembly arrangements, an improved lower metallic base-support, having a shielding portion, which shields the relatively-sharp-cornered hardware features, such as the movable-contact guiding stem, reducing the electrical gradient, employing tubular shielding structures adjacent the central heavy supporting plate for relieving the electrostatic field, and employing, additionally, an improved upper electrostatic shielding arrangement, easily attached and disassembled by a simplified spring-clip assembly.An additional feature of the invention is the use of a spherical bearing located at the upper end of the insulating pull-rod assembly, or operating-rod assembly to compensate for inaccuracies in manufacture, and improving the general assembly features adapting the modules for bench-assembly inspection.
